Chapter 306 The Zhou Family Donates the Factory

Su Nuannuan was invited by Zhou Menglu.

Zhou Menglu dressed very modestly, having given up her usual dresses and wearing the most fashionable blue shirt and black trousers.

This was the most low-key outfit Su Nuannuan had ever seen Zhou Menglu wear.

Zhou Menglu took Su Nuannuan to a coffee shop.

This coffee shop is owned by a Chinese person, and the environment is very elegant.

It is said that the Chinese man was among the first group of Chinese students to study abroad, and after returning home, he developed a great love for coffee. His family had some money, so he opened this coffee shop.

Zhou Menglu is a regular customer at this coffee shop.

Su Nuannuan doesn't come here very often. Compared to bitter coffee, Su Nuannuan prefers sweet milk tea.

The two went to a secluded corner, and Zhou Menglu asked the waiter to bring two cups of coffee.

Su Nuannuan looked at Zhou Menglu and teased her.

"How come you have time to ask me out?"

She hadn't seen Zhou Menglu for several days since that day when she reminded her again.

Su Nuannuan had almost thought the other person had already gone abroad, but she didn't expect that the other person would still have time to ask her out.

Zhou Menglu sighed and said.

"Don't even mention it. I've already told my dad about Uncle Chu. These past few days, my dad's been busy dealing with things at our factory. I reckon in a few days, Fatty and I will be going abroad with my dad."

Su Nuannuan was not surprised by this.

Uncle Zhou is a businessman, and businessmen are masters at avoiding risks. Although Uncle Chu's actions have been discreet lately, his big moves can be detected if someone points them out.

Su Nuannuan took a sip of coffee, but the bitter taste made her frown.

"When are you leaving?"

Zhou Menglu stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, her face contorted in a grimace, and said...

"At the latest, next month. You have no idea how anxious my dad was after hearing about what happened to Brother Chu's family. If our factory weren't still in Beijing, he would have taken us abroad immediately."

Su Nuannuan smiled.

Zhou Menglu's family owns two factories. One is a pharmaceutical factory, which was started by Zhou's uncle's father and has been in operation for more than 20 years.

The Zhou family also amassed a large fortune through this factory.

There's another factory that opened a few years ago; it's a soap factory. Uncle Zhou started it himself.

Su Nuannuan had heard Zhou Menglu mention that Uncle Zhou opened this factory to leave it to his youngest son. Although he preferred his daughter, he never intended to leave his son nothing.

To prevent his two children from fighting over the inheritance when they grew up, Uncle Zhou prepared for his younger son well in advance.

The younger son inherited the soap factory, and the older daughter inherited the pharmaceutical factory.

Su Nuannuan was shocked when she first heard about this allocation.

She has come to realize that sons are worthless, while daughters are treasures.

Looking at Zhou Menglu's dejected face, Su Nuannuan knew that the other party was reluctant to go abroad.

"Don't be sad. Your family is going abroad now for your own good. Anyway, Mingzhou and I are going to Heilongjiang Province, and there's nothing fun for you and Fatty to do in Beijing."

Although Zhou Menglu has been back in China for several years, the only people she knows are Su Nuannuan.

It's not that no one wanted to be friends with Zhou Menglu.

However, those who befriended her were either attracted by her family background or wanted to get to know Chu Mingzhou and Pang Pang through Zhou Menglu.

These two are quite well-known at universities in Beijing. However, one is aloof and the other is shy; neither of them is the type to actively make friends.

Therefore, these people set their sights on Zhou Menglu.

Zhou Menglu dislikes people who approach her with ulterior motives. She can't get along with these kinds of people.

Hearing Su Nuannuan's comforting words, Zhou Menglu felt a little better.

“You’re right. Now that you’ve all left, there’s no point in Fatty and I staying in Beijing.”

Su Nuannuan smiled and inquired about Zhou Menglu's family situation.

"What will Uncle Zhou do with your two factories?" Zhou Menglu smiled when this was mentioned.

She leaned closer to Su Nuannuan and whispered.

“My dad has already sold the soap factory. But he can’t bear to part with the pharmaceutical factory that my grandfather passed down, so he approached several people. Just when the deal was about to be finalized, he changed his mind.”

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"It seems Uncle Zhou is very reluctant to part with your family's pharmaceutical factory."

Zhou Menglu nodded and said.

"That's right. I've even seen my dad secretly crying in his study in the middle of the night."

Su Nuannuan felt a mix of emotions. Asking Uncle Zhou to give up his family's business was a cruel thing.

However, this is something that must be done.

Su Nuannuan was curious about how the Zhou family handled the pharmaceutical factory matter, so she asked.

"And then what? How did your dad handle it?"

Zhou Menglu sighed, downed her coffee in one gulp, and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Don't even mention it. My dad donated the pharmaceutical factory he was going to leave me to the country. He didn't keep a single penny from the factory."

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Donated!"

Zhou Menglu nodded, her expression indignant.

"He even said he'd leave the pharmaceutical factory to me. In the blink of an eye, he donated it. I think my dad was just teasing me. Sure enough, men with sons forget about their daughters."

Su Nuannuan was taken aback at first, then clapped her hands and said.

"It's good that you donated!"

Zhou Menglu thought Su Nuannuan was gloating, and glared at Su Nuannuan angrily.

"Su Nuannuan, whose side are you on?!"

Su Nuannuan smiled helplessly, knowing that Zhou Menglu had misunderstood.

So she went along with it.

"Calm down. You've misunderstood me, and you've misunderstood Uncle Zhou too. Your family's most important asset is the pharmaceutical factory. If Uncle Zhou sells the pharmaceutical factory, he probably won't be able to take all the money with him."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Zhou Menglu's expression indeed softened.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it and continued.

"Besides, your father cares a lot about the pharmaceutical factory that your grandfather passed down. It's better to donate it to the country directly than to sell it to someone else. Most importantly, although your family will lose the money from selling the factory, your family's trip abroad will definitely be very smooth."

Su Nuannuan didn't believe that no one would stop her from going abroad at this time.

What's more, Uncle Zhou was carrying so much money.

Uncle Zhou is a businessman; as long as he has capital, he has the opportunity to make a comeback.

Rather than carrying so much money and attracting envy and covetousness, it would be better to simply donate it to the country.

Su Nuannuan felt that Uncle Zhou's actions must have been the result of careful consideration.

Zhou Menglu is no longer a willful child.

Su Nuannuan explained the situation to her, and she understood her father's actions.

Although she was heartbroken about losing so much money, Zhou Menglu cared more about the safety of her family.

Although she was still a little upset, she had come to understand her father's actions.

Su Nuannuan comforted Zhou Menglu for another half hour before finally going home.

Upon returning home, Su Nuannuan was warmly greeted by Chu Mingzhou.

Since their marriage, Chu Mingzhou has been very warm towards her, and Su Nuannuan has forgotten his aloof demeanor from before.
